Tina Barry reviews Sidecar, the South Slope restaurant I noticed for the first time last week, in the Brooklyn Paper. And she likes it. I may try it for brunch tomorrow.

They mean classic New York at its swanky best; in their dark wood,
brick-walled dining room, booths are set up for cozy canoodling and
bartenders put the happy in “happy hour” when they start mixing retro
drinks like the signature “Sidecar” and “Pimm’s Cup.”

John’s in
the kitchen shucking oysters again, (he serves these with a house made
cucumber mignonette sauce), and serving up bowls of “BLT soup” (bacon,
escarole, tomato and chicken stock), a “Sidecar burger” with fries, and
the popular buttermilk fried chicken.
